Ronni Faye

Last year my Grandfather Ron Durham passed away. The year before that my Grandmother Faye passed away. People tend to take for granted those who are closest to them. We feel that since they are family that they know that we love them. Often times we fail to express sacrifice and love for our family, because we know that they know it. I have recently felt like I didn't tell my father's parents that I loved them enough. I feel like I'm doing the same thing with my Granny Pat now. I'm not sure why this is the case, but one thing I know is that I still have time to correct that with Granny Pat. As for Ron and Faye, I can only tell you all how much I loved them. They were two of the most beautiful people that you would ever be so blessed to meet. Faye was the perennial matriarch, and Ron the loving father. The two of them also raised such wonderful, God Fearing children, who have continued that lineage. What a legacy?! We are called to spread The Word through many different avenues, and one of those is family. Legacy is not what we accumulate and leave behind, but who we impact and the manner in which we impact them. Both Ron and Faye understood this and made this a commitment to the Lord. There are so many things that I love about both of them, but most of all I love that they taught my father to love and honor God in all that he does. It's because of this that Patti and I are naming our coming Daughter, Ronni Faye Durham. We can't wait to share the Word with her...Matthew already loves it!
